Bottom line. ECHs love their conventions and conferences. It doesn’t matter if it’s put on by the National Association of Chicana y Chicano Studies, the National Council of La Raza, the National Association of Hispanic Journalists, or hell, even the National Association of Hispanic Federal Executives, ECHs will go to meet other ECHs. Officially, it’s to “network.” But really it’s about dressing up and going to the end of conference dance. If you’re coming from places like New England or the Deep South, all you can say is, ‘wow! I feel like I’m finally at home!’ If you come from the Southwest or Chicago, you’re like, ‘OK. Just another weekend with new folks.’
The single ECHs go on the prowl because, well, where else are you going to find so many ECHs in one place? The married ECHs sometimes get into drama and the attending ECH couples are the envy of all. The more academic, the more gay friendly the last dance might be. That may cause a few ECHs to whisper rude comments about the men dancing with each other or the attire of ECH lesbians. All that shows: some ECHs really aren’t that educated after all.
